All lanes on I-55 South near the Mississippi River bridge are back open after the hazardous spill forced traffic to close for several hours, according to the Arkansas Department of Transportation.

A hazardous spill on I-55 heading into Memphis causes lanes to close, the Arkansas Department of Transportation said.

All the southbound lanes are closed for over 4 miles.
